It is difficult to say that Ruihai’s problems are difficult to solve.
After all, Ruihai is truly upright and honest in his official duties, the kind that can be written into history books.
Zhang Mingtu even felt that Ruihai was not much worse than Bao Zheng, and was even tougher than Bao Zheng, but not as evil as Bao Zheng.
Ruihai truly regarded the superiors as upright, honest and incorruptible people.
Therefore, the way he behaves and does things is really outrageous.
Given Ruihai's style of doing things, even if the inspector comes, or even before he arrives, as long as the reputation of his extravagant eating and drinking reaches Ruihai, he will definitely be criticized.
After Rui Hai's criticism, he will definitely receive a bad review from the Inspector General.
A bad review from the Inspector is not as simple as giving a bad review when ordering takeout. The impact is extremely far-reaching.
But it was unrealistic to ask Ruihai to compromise, give gifts to the Inspector, or give him a grand reception.
Zhang Mingtu remembered that Ruihai ordered several dishes at Fulai Restaurant and felt very sad, although this incident has not happened yet.
If we want to solve the problem starting from Ruihai, it is basically impossible.
Zhang Mingtu could even imagine what kind of answer he would get if he asked Ruihai to please the Inspection Office.
"This is flattery, the behavior of a mean person. If I really have to give gifts and curry favor with the Inspector General in order to get a promotion, then how am I any different from those I investigated?"
"Besides, the Supervisory Commission represents the emperor's reputation. How could they tolerate such a thing as accepting gifts and bribes?"
There is no need to think about it, the answer will definitely be like this, or even more intense.
But is there no solution? No.
It can be solved from another direction.
If we can't solve the problem here at Ruihai, we can start with the Supervisory Office. Anyway, we just want a good review from the Supervisory Office.
There was nothing wrong with Rui Hai, but the Inspector was different.
If Zhang Mingtu was asked to give a gift to the Inspector, he would not feel reluctant. This was the way the world was, and he thought it was reasonable.
But many times there is no need to use this method. Many times, there are better solutions to many problems.
Zhang Mingtu thought about it carefully. He didn't pay much attention to the major events of the court, but he seemed to remember that as an inspector, he was investigated and punished by another newly appointed assistant for crimes such as corruption shortly afterwards.
Zhang Mingtu did not remember much of the relevant specific evidence.
It is known that the corresponding crime is that he accepted money and property from others on multiple occasions while under supervision, and the amount was not small.
Moreover, the specific amount mentioned only stated that he accepted 20,000 taels of silver and many beautiful women and delicacies when he was on patrol in Yangzhou. More items were not mentioned in the corresponding evidence.
But that alone is enough.
Zhang Mingtu looked for the relevant documents. The inspection room would report on the inspections in various places. After the report, it would be distributed to various regions so that each person could learn about the situation in other regions, including the inspection report of Inspector Yan.
He recently inspected Yangzhou and gave a high evaluation to a county magistrate in Yangzhou.
Well, Zhang Mingtu took a look and found that the county magistrate’s surname was Yang, and his name was Yang Mingde.
After comparing the information about Yang Moude sending 30,000 taels of silver in the notification process, Zhang Mingtu said he understood.
"The Inspector General should be staying at Longxing Prefecture today."
For many people, the Inspector General's movements are a secret.
After all, we must be proactive in guarding against someone knowing the news in advance, and then pretending to make corrections and only showing favor to the Inspector. At the same time, we must also be proactive in guarding against someone giving gifts to the Inspector.
The policy is certainly excellent, but it cannot stop the inspector from taking the initiative to reveal his own route of activities in an unconscious way.
Zhang Mingtu studied the Inspector's route a little bit and pondered for a moment.
He took out a few copper blocks and then used his fingers to carve a few lines of words on them, all in standard regular script.
With Zhang Mingtu's current control over his body, it can be said that it is exactly the same as printed fonts.
Then he dipped the ink and printed them one by one on several pieces of white paper.
After a closer look, he confirmed that there weren't many traces left and smiled slightly.
When the night was at noon, he left a few spies to observe the chief clerk, then turned around and dived into the Jianyi River again, using the water talisman to travel quickly.
The goal was clear all the way until we reached Longxing Prefecture, which was an inn.
After choosing and choosing, I chose a guest room that was more luxurious than the ordinary rooms.
Zhang Mingtu carefully identified it and chose the third room from the left. After confirming it, he turned over and entered.
The interior was quite tidy and clean. Zhang Mingtu took a closer look and found a piece of white paper under the pillow at the head of the bed.
The Inspector named Yan often pretended to casually reveal his upcoming itinerary during small gatherings.
Then every time he stayed at the corresponding post station, he would always receive some small surprises, which would usually be placed under his pillow. Therefore, the Inspector also developed a habit of touching under the pillow every time he stayed at a station. Presumably, Zhang Mingtu would give him a big surprise this time.
As the night deepened, a group of people walked into the post station, smelling of wine and cosmetics.
The leader was already very drunk, and his legs were a little unsteady when he walked. It was obvious that he was treated very well.
Normally, they should stay overnight in Yihongyuan, but the inspector also knew that some things still needed to be paid attention to, so he insisted on returning to the post station to rest.
After being helped into the guest room by a group of people, the middle-aged inspector no longer had the friendly smile on his face.
"The news of my arrival in Longxing Prefecture should have spread, and Ruihai should have known about it. Why hasn't he said anything yet?"
"Could it be that you've already found someone else and aren't planning to smooth things over with me?"
Sitting at the head of the bed, the Inspector looked somewhat dissatisfied.
The hard bed and the simple environment of the post station made him feel uncomfortable.
However, when he saw a bit of white faintly visible next to the pillow, he had an idea and reached out to touch it. When he felt the texture of paper, his face lit up with joy.
"Sure enough, you are still sensible."
However, when he took out the white paper under the pillow and saw the excitement on it, he was stunned and his face became stiff.
The first line of words made his heart sink.
"In March in Yangzhou, the snow falls in thousands, and the scenery must be charming."
On the surface, the poem is about scenery, but in fact, Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and even in March, there will not be any snowflakes falling.
On the contrary, this Sanhe Snowflakes is very similar to what he got from the County Magistrate Yang in Yangzhou.
He continued to read, and his expression became uglier and uglier. After a long while, he uttered two words from between his teeth.
"Rui Hai!"
"Okay, very good."
